Class: KeyCombo

Phaser.Input.Keyboard. KeyCombo

A KeyCombo will listen for a specific string of keys from the Keyboard, and when it receives them it will emit a keycombomatch event from the Keyboard Manager.

The keys to be listened for can be defined as:

A string (i.e. 'ATARI') An array of either integers (key codes) or strings, or a mixture of both An array of objects (such as Key objects) with a public 'keyCode' property

For example, to listen for the Konami code (up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, b, a, enter) you could pass the following array of key codes:

this.input.keyboard.createCombo([ 38, 38, 40, 40, 37, 39, 37, 39, 66, 65, 13 ], { resetOnMatch: true });

this.input.keyboard.on('keycombomatch', function (event) {
    console.log('Konami Code entered!');
});

Or, to listen for the user entering the word PHASER:

this.input.keyboard.createCombo('PHASER');

new KeyCombo(keyboardPlugin, keys [, config])
